=== [[why2025-kitchen | Kitchen ]]===
*Manager needed
The difference in having our own dedicated dishwashing station (at at least, access to freshwater and waste through rotating [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_bulk_container IBCs] or similar) at CCCamp23 vs using public facilities at EMF was apparant and frustrating to all. We hold up the dishwashing queue for individuals, families and smaller villages which is not a great experience and we can't efficiently or correctly clean our equipment because of lack of space, warm water etc. It would be great if we could have our own dedicated space at WHY 2025.

Instead of relying on volunteer kitchen managers, our idea is to have a professional Chef/Cook/Kitchen Manager paid by Milliways to head up the Kitchen. We then need to look for a Milliways Kitchen Manager accustomed to organizing volunteers and other hackercamp event stuff to liasie between our kitchen, our archangels and event.

=== [[why2025-bar | Bar]] ===

=== [[why2025-infodesk |infodesk]] ===
Headed by [[User:hanemile | Hanemile]]. 
Like at CCCamp23, have an infodesk with...

* info on Milliways content (talks/workshops/whats happening when?)
* lost&found (we've got a box with stuff™)
* directions (people tend to get lost)
* weather (water && sunscreen distribution)
* mealtimes and meal info
* volunteer signup (in coordination with the archangels)
* coins!
* stickers
* music
* and more (something always pops up)!

From an online perspective, it would be nice to have "The Internet" accessible from within the infodesk. Tough most information on site is consumed via black or whiteboards.

Setup: the ccc-camp style "hut" was amazing, having a roof against rain and sun is essential.

=== [[why2025-beer |Team Beer]] ===

The team is [[User:cy|cy]], [[User:ljrk|lj-rk]] and [[User:mc.fly | mc.fly]]

We want to make the Beer tap great again.

For that we plan to orgainze german (and maybe dutch) Beers at the camp.

Further beers are welcome.

We'll have all the tap heads that exist to make sure we can tap everything properly.

If you want to bring a beer keg please talk to us.

=== [[why2025-power |power]] ===

=== [[why2025-water |water]] ===

=== [[why2025-art-light |Deco]] ===

=== [[why2025-constructions |Constructions]] ===
Headed by [[User:Junglerot | Junglerot]]. 
'''Please remember''' This is a hackercamp, we should only plan for this if we have the people, plans and equipment in place to fulfill the request. 
We can not improvise any serious woodworking on-site at little to no notice.
====Intended Constructions====
* Infodesk
* Bar
* Kitchen
** Weather dependant; Flooring

It should go without saying, but to be sure; 
Don't teardown any constructions without approval from construction team.
Don't use excess lumber \ torn down constructions to build bonfires.

====Lumber sourcing and storage====
* Sourcing from [https://www.pontmeyer.nl/ PontMeyer]
* [[User:Obsidian | Obsidian]] has a space "close" to WHY terrain that can be used for storage and buildup of Milliways constructions for WHY.

=== [[why2025-Volunteering |Heaven]] ===
Headed by [[User:zornem | Zornem]]
Supported by [[User:SleepyEntropy | SleepyEntropy]]

Getting the right volunteers in the right places at the right times has proved challenging in the past, which creates absolute chaos. 
Chaos is fine and all every now and again and certainly, it's to be expected at these events, but; in the one area we are known for, the one area we strive to deliver properly, our wonderful kitchen that provides delicious food by hardworking volunteers - is suffering due to this chaos.

How can we make this better?

* With our own heaven using something like the [https://engelsystem.de/ Engelsystem]? other ideas?
* Perhaps we can even link into and use or have volunteer shifts available in WHY's volunteer system for kitchen and - if we do our own stage - the heralding etc?
* Have a big whiteboard / blackboard into which people can add themselves. Pro: is super present and people can directly see what is still needed, best even if it's in the queue for the kitchen, so people can see the current status and spontaneously add themselves.

====Whiskyleaks====
Milliways' famous Whiskyleaks event;
Self organizing, repeating, turned into a legend. Many bottles arrive, none leave. Bring a bottle of your favourite whisky (or other spirits) and share it with other passionate drinkers. If you can’t bring a bottle, come along - bring one next time!

====Midnight Fries====

===Monday===
====TBD====
your event here?

====Midnight Snack====

===[[Challenge_coins|Coin]]===

===Deco \ Art===
We need to do a CfP for deco and art for our village.

==Infrastructure==

===[[Dome]]===
As we learned at [[emfcamp_2024 | EMF]], A new tarp can be ruined after several strong gusts of wind. We need ground ankers and 200m of high tensile rope for each dome to prevent this from happening again + improved plans on setting up the dome and adding a tarp so it's clear for newbies.

===Rummary Tent===
===5x15 Army tent hangout spot===

===[[Weeze_Storage]]===

==History==

Milliways has attended several hackercamps in NL;

*2022 [[MCH_2022|May Contain Hackers]]
